“A Modern Space Age Family”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Constitutional Monarchy of The Jetsons is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Spacely with an even hand, and remarkable for its feral children, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.069 billion Jetsonsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orbit City. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Jetsonsian economy, worth 483 trillion discs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,443 discs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

School children declare that teachers "may confiscate our toys but they can never take our FREEDOM", the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, allergy-sufferers must wear gas masks before venturing outdoors, and mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Jetsons's national animal is the A Modern Space Age Family, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Jetsons is ranked 26,505^th in the world and 2^nd in SPACE for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 6,453.25 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
